Music therapy interventions are increasingly used in aged care facilities across Australia, however Australian-based research that tests its effectiveness is scarce. In this study, we track the impact of group music therapy and group singing on levels of depression, cognitive function, quality of life, and other symptoms of dementia. By providing music therapy programs across sites in Victoria, NSW and Queensland, we will also evaluate the cost effectiveness of the intervention.

音乐疗法干预在澳大利亚各地的老年护理机构中的使用越来越多，但在澳大利亚进行的测试其有效性的研究很少。在这项研究中，我们跟踪了集体音乐治疗和集体唱歌对抑郁水平、认知功能、生活质量和其他痴呆症状的影响。通过在维多利亚州、新南威尔士州和昆士兰州提供音乐治疗计划，我们还将评估干预的成本效益。
